Kiwanis scoops the pool at recent Adelaide Convention

Eight members of the Brisbane Kiwanis club were among the hundreds of Kiwanians who came from around Australia to attend the 48th Australian Kiwanis convention, held in Adelaide.

The convention, held at the Sage hotel in August, saw Mrs Rose Muirhead, President of the Kiwanis Club of Roseworthy-Hewett welcome fellow Kiwanians, visitors and International visitors from the USA and the Philippines.

Over two days of the convention, guest speakers spoke about their work with children in the Kalahari Desert, the Philippines and with Heart Kids Australia. Two young high school teenagers spoke about the advantages of being involved in Kiwanis Service leadership programs at their school where they gained leadership and team work skills.

Delegates voted in their new board members who will lead the Australian District into the 2016-17 year.

Several workshops were conducted outlining strategic plans for the future of Kiwanis in Australia and the advantages of introducing Service Leadership programs into our schools, such as Terrific Kids.

At a Black Tie dinner, the Lord Mayor of Adelaide, Mr Martin Haese, officially opened the Convention and was followed by the keynote speaker for the evening, Governor of South Australia, The Honourable, Hieu Van Le. ‘The Best of Town and Country’ was the theme for the Saturday dinner where awards were presented to clubs by the Governor of Australia District, Mr Bill Scully. The Brisbane Club scooped the pool winning, Model Club, Best Club and New Club Building in 2015-2016 as well as Donor to Heart Kids and most improved club Bulletin Award.

The convention in 2017 will be held in Darwin hosted by the Casaurina Club.

Free anti-bullying and self-defence workshop It is an unfortunate fact that in today’s world, personal safety and security is more a necessity than a choice. After a successful and popular free antibullying and self-defence workshop held in Forest Lake recently, the Rhee TaeKwon-do group will hold the same event at Middle Park State School in October.

Rhee TaeKwon-do is a controlled contact, non-competition martial art that focuses on effective self-defence techniques and personalised training to help students develop self-confidence, self-discipline, fitness and respect.

It is Australia’s first and biggest TaeKwon-Do school, founded in 1965 by World Master Chong Chul Rhee. Rhee TaeKwon-Do Forest Lake is a proud supporter of the Australian Federal Police’s Street Smart program that is implemented in all high schools in Queensland.

“Anyone can learn and enjoy Rhee TaeKwon-Do,” said Instructor Eva. “Male or female, large or small, strong or weak, child, teenager or adult. This free event will primarily focus on safety and awareness for schoolchildren aged five to 17. Parents are welcome to watch or join in as we know and understand that some children are nervous without accompaniment. It will also cover anti-bullying tactics and provide tips on making safe choices and preventing dangerous situations.”

The workshop will be held on Tuesday 18th of October, from 6pm-7pm at the Middle Park State School Hall, 27 Macfarlane St, Middle Park.

Rhee TaeKwon-do classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday night from 6pm-7pm for students aged 5 - 65 at the Middle Park State School Hall.

For more information, contact Instructor Eva on 0466 234 846 or send an email to rtkdforestlake@gmail.com.

Personally Speaking with Susannah Friis It is with a heavy heart that I write this editorial, as it will be the last for the Centenary News. It is 20 years this year since the first edition was distributed in the Centenary suburbs.

Over that 20 years, we have walked with residents through good times and through some trying times.

In particular, I remember the 2011 floods and the extraordinary way in which the community pulled together and really united to help their fellow man. And the best thing has been to see that instead of fading as the crises passed, that sentiment has only become stronger over the ensuing five years. I hope we at the Centenary News had a small part to play in connecting people and raising awareness of the issues that faced residents and how others could help.

But, time marches on and changes are inevitable.

Unfortunately, the Centenary News has not received the same level of advertising support that our other publications enjoy and it’s time to move our business in a different direction and focus our time and energy on The Lake News and The Greater Springfield Times. Sadly, our fourth publication, The Local News, has also had to be discontinued.

Graham and I would like to publicly acknowledge and thank those businesses that have supported us over the last 20 years, some for a short time and others who were with us consistently for long periods of time. As a small business ourselves, we fully recognise how tough it is to own and run your own business and we hope we have helped those businesses grow and increase through advertising in the Centenary News.

And to the wonderful contributors who have faithfully taken time out of their busy schedules to write interesting and informative articles for us - our sincere and heartfelt thanks go to you. Due to the nature of technology, I can’t go back through our files to the very beginning but if memory serves me correctly, Marlene Worthington of Centenary National Seniors is our longest running columnist, closely followed by Caroline Hamilton of the Centenary Suburbs Historical Society. Ladies, thank you. Your dedication to your clubs is a credit to you and an inspiration to us.

So it is that we end an era here at Local News Publications. While Graham and I are sad to say goodbye to two of our publications, and therefore, the wonderful people involved in each of those distribution areas, we are excited about the future of Local News Publications.

The Lake News and The Greater Springfield Times are strong publications in their own right and we will enjoy getting even more involved with those communities and bringing an even greater source of advertising and local news to the residents and businesses in those distribution areas.

It has been a pleasure to be part of this community and one which we will always fondly remember. We’ve always been, and still are, all about community. Our contact details won’t change, so don’t be a stranger, we would love to hear from you. And if we can assist with either advertising or editorial in our two remaining publications, please do let us know; send an email to editor@LNP.net.au.

Dog washing: the why’s, when’s and how’s Clients frequently ask questions regarding how often they should wash their dog, which shampoo they should use, and even, how to actually wash their dog. The simple answer is - it all depends! The first question is why are you washing the dog.

Does it have an existing skin condition or has it just rolled in something smelly ? Is it an active outdoor short coat type dog or a small fluffy inside dog, for which doggy odours may become a higher priority.

There are some quite important differences between human skin and dog skin and hence between a good purpose made dog shampoo and many of the cosmetic human ones which have been perfumed then re-branded and marketed as a ‘pet shampoo’. Surprisingly, dog skin is actually thinner and more sensitive than human skin with a neutral pH and is easily prone to irritation and inflammation. This is often most apparent in the relatively unprotected belly areas of the groin or armpit which are closest to the ground and garden plants.

Canine thin skins are also able to directly absorb allergens from grass, weeds, fleas and insect saliva more easily. Many pets then develop ‘atopy’ or ‘hay fever’.

Wet weather tends to flare dermatitis as grasses and irritant plants grow more rapidly and their pollen or sap becomes more soluble. This is easily wiped onto the skin especially of those low slung and short legged little dogs. Throw in some itching, licking and maybe chewing due to flea irritation and you soon disrupt the healthy barrier .A recipe for skin and ear infection plus the offensive doggy odour!

Here then are our recommendation for washing dogs and good skin care: • For normal washing and cleaning use a pH neutral, non soap based, sulphate-free moisturising shampoo formulated for dog skin. These help supplement and replace the skin barrier and can be used every day though weekly to fortnightly should suffice unless the dog is dirty.

• For dogs with existing allergy dermatitis and/or concurrent bacterial or yeast infections, wash twice weekly with an antimicrobial shampoo as an ongoing preventative.

• Maintain excellent flea control with one of the new once monthly oral flea tablets. These give virtually 100% control for a full 30 days. Flea shampoos are hopeless and will not maintain adequate ongoing protection against reinfection.

• For itchy/allergic dogs, topical fatty acid medications which help supplement skin barrier layers can help.

• Dogs with problems due to skin infections, allergies or parasites may require antimicrobial or anti allergy drugs and correct diagnosis. The vet may need to take a sample from the skin to check. This is fast, simple and painless. Many dogs will also have ear problems as the ear is part of the skin too.

• Feed a good non-cereal based diet which is high in omega 3 fats. Dogs with skin problems related to any specific food intolerances may need a special formula or diet test.

• Hydrobathing does help remove deeper dirt but be careful that soap products being used are not human based and perfumed type products and that any warm water recirculated is clean from bacteria when in multi use. At home a deeper laundry tub or shower recess can be used but gently condition pups from an earlier age to avoid the endurance test later on!

Newcomb Park sign unveiled

ORTHODONTIST

With a huge crowd of wellwishers present, Cr. Matthew Bourke recently unveiled a sign erected at Newcomb Park, at the end of Sumners Road near the river, officially naming the Park in honour of Simon Newcomb OAM. It was a fitting ceremony honouring a member of the community for his tireless work especially for those children who had never been given the opportunity to learn how to row.

Cr. Bourke said that he met Simon Newcomb many years ago when he first started his youth rowing program at the Centenary Canoe and Rowing Club at what was affectionately known by all rowers and coaches as ‘The Mudhole’.

To launch boats and safety tinnies, coaches and rowers had to wade through thigh deep black mud which not only had a putrid smelt but once it became plastered on everything rowers touched the only way to remove it was to hose everyone and everything down before venturing to school or go home.

Cr. Bourke said his special memory was when Simon taught him how to row a single sculling boat.

“Simon was very forthcoming when he told me he would not teach me any differently from a new rower joining the Club, meaning I had to show him when I fell into the river that I was able to get back into my upturned boat twice without any help.

“What impresses me most is that he will never take the word ‘No’ for an answer. When dealing with Simon, if he thinks something is worth doing, like building a rowing shed, he will persist until it is built,” Cr Bourke said.

Mr Anthony Shortis, a founding member of the youth rowing program, spoke on behalf of the Centenary Rowing Club and said that Simon had become a friend and mentor to thousands of young children through the many youth programs he had commenced.

“When I first joined the Club in 2004, we had no equipment so Simon decided the only way to create a fleet was to collect old boats and oars and with the help of friends set about re-building them.

“With the help of others, he re-built 48 old boats forcing the Council to eventually provide him space near a dog leash park at Jindalee to store the re-built boats under trees to at least give them a little shade from the hot sun.”

Later at the special afternoon tea provided for all attendees the Karate Jutsu Brisbane Club gave a demonstration that included a former rower from Kenmore State High School, Ella Peacock who won two Bronze Medals at the National Rowing Championships held in Nagambie in 2010.

A large contingent of members of the Order of Australia including Chairman Professor John Harden AM joined the big crowd present to honour Simon Newcomb OAM.

Milton Dick

MP

FEDER AL MEMBER FOR OXLE Y

It’s a privilege and an honour to be voted in as the new Federal Member for Oxley and I’d like to thank the community for placing their trust in me to represent you and be your voice in Canberra over the next three years.

It’s been a busy month throughout the Centenary suburbs with beautiful winter skies making for some terrific events and activities.

We’re fortunate to live in such a vibrant community, and that neighbourhood spirit was on show with huge attendances at the Over 50’s Expo at Centenary SHS along with Middle Park SS and Jindalee SS both hosting tremendously successful school fetes.

Jindalee SS put on a wonderful show with their ‘Back to the 60s’ theme as they opened up a school time capsule to celebrate their 50th anniversary. At Middle Park SS I certainly got a little more than I bargained for as plenty of students lined up to take their shot when it was my turn on the Super Soaker. While the water might have been a bit chilly, it was great to be involved and help the school raise funds towards some new classrooms.

Well done to all the event organisers for their hard work and dedication on a job well done.

Congratulations also go to 15 aspiring young athletes who each received $500 towards their sporting pursuits recently through the Local Sporting Champions grant. It’s great to see the amazing sporting talent we have in our community as the athletes and their parents joined in a celebratory afternoon tea at the electorate office.

We wish all the best to the recipients as they chase their sporting dreams in athletics, rowing, gymnastics, ice hockey and other sports across the country later this year.

The next round of the Local Sporting Champions grant is open now with applications closing on October 31st through the www.aussport.gov.au website. You can stay up to date on upcoming events, activities and everything else happening in the electorate at www.miltondick.com.au or feel free to call my office anytime on 3879 6440.

Centenary Probus Club Update

by Anne Harris

Many residents of the Centenary Suburbs enjoy outings, friendship and listening to guest speakers, many as members of local Probus Clubs. The Centenary Probus Club, which meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Jindalee Bowls Club at 10am has a number of activities besides the monthly meeting.

In October a visit to the Museum at the RAAF Base at Amberley has been organised. Usually, before the activity, the group meets to enjoy morning tea, and afterwards there is always a luncheon at a nearby venue. Some of the outings this year have been to Government House, on the Mirimar II boat cruise to Lone Pine, to a Robotic Dairy farm at Beaudesert, to Roma Street Gardens, to the Police Headquarters in Roma Street, and Beenleigh Rum Distillery with a few members enjoying the samples provided!

Our other groups consist of a Men’s Discussion group, which we hear solves many of the world’s problems as well as discussing useful and helpful information. This group changes venue so each member of the group acts as host and is held at 10am on the second Tuesday of the month.

The Ladies’ group meets at Gardenway at 9.30am on the third Friday of the month for tea or coffee, and a good chat.

Also on the first Tuesday of the month the popular Dining Group samples the fare at various restaurants in the area.

With so many varied and interesting activities, the Club’s members are never at a loss to be involved and entertained. Contact name and number - Barbara Peters on 0439 671 117.

Two great shows on offer this month at Ipswich Civic Centre

shake & stir theatre co are bringing their award-winning Australian play, Tequila Mockingbird to Ipswich Civic Centre for one show only on Tuesday 18 October.

Featuring the original stellar cast, including Barbara Lowing, Bryan Probets, Nelle Lee, Nick Skubij, Ross Balbuziente and Shannon Haegler, and directed by Michael Futcher Tequila Mockingbird visits themes of racial prejudice, the perversion of justice and the consequences of alcohol abuse, all in a uniquely Australian context.

Nominated for six Matilda Awards in 2014 and winner of Best Mainstage Production and collected three coveted Gold Matilda Awards - this is a bold, brave work examining a darker side of Australian culture lurking just below the surface which The Australian garnered “OUTSTANDING.” After a woman is attacked in a remote Australian town, the racist underbelly rears its head as the community targets a young Indian doctor who recently relocated to the area. Only one local man possesses the strength to uncover the truth and defend the accused in the ultimate fight for what’s right, but first, he must take care of other matters a little closer to home.

“Tequila Mockingbird has been a cherished production for shake & stir since 2013; it commenced a dialogue with our audiences surrounding racial issues and we want it to be seen by more Australians, and given the terrifying recent increase in atrocities fuelled by discrimination – it’s more important than ever,” said shake & stir’s Artistic Director, Ross Balbuziente.

Book online at www.Ipswichciviccentre.com.au or by calling 3810 6100. Tickets cost $32 for an adult, and $27 for concession.

Grab the girls on Friday 7th October and leave the kids at home so you can reminisce about your childhood BFF: your DOLL. Babushka: DOLL will star Alicia Cush, Bethan Ellsmore and Judy Hainsworth, who are coming to nurse dolls, break dolls and become dolls in a crazed and cutesy cabaret that brings you a taste of everything from Guns’n’Roses to opera.

This frenzy of fuchsia is a riotous celebration of our playthings, our challenges as women in this ‘day and age’ and the ability to be our own hero. These potty-mouthed Polly Pockets are not afraid to go for broke when it comes to consumerism, gender-bias, the pressure to be a good mum and to look damn fabulous while you’re at it.

Babushka has an excellent formula for taking both well-known and obscure songs and completely re-imagining them, creating stunning and often hilarious moments.

Coupled with their blazing individual personalities and a knack for idiosyncratic humour, you have the recipe for an enthralling, sidesplitting piece of theatre.

Audiences can expect the unexpected, with bizarre musical mash-ups and a fantastically feminine production with a truly dirty mind. These incredible singers bring every inch of their stunning voices and performance skills to deliver a high-energy, uplifting and hilarious show that has real meat on its bones.

Babushka: Doll is a cabaret creation that’s simply not to be missed. Starting at 7.30pm on Friday 7th October, tickets cost $25 per person and can be purchased online at www.ipswichciviccentre.com.au or by calling 3810 6100.

Jamboree Community Kindergarten celebrates many milestones!

Now in it’s 25th year of operation, Jamboree Community Kindergarten is celebrating many worthwhile milestones this year. With four staff members chalking up 20 years at the centre this year and another three all well over ten years, the longevity of teachers and staff says it all about this family orientated community kindergarten.

Teacher, Tina Stannard, grew up in the area and has taught at the kindy for over 20 years. “A career highlight for me has been being able to work at Jamboree Community Kindergarten over such a long period of time. In the last 23 years, I have had the privilege of educating about 600 children,” said Tina.

“The wonderful families make it so special. The beautiful children, supportive parents and dedicated staff all work together to create a very special place.”

Assistant teacher Denise Beutel was first a parent of the centre before becoming the Special Needs Assistant and is now during the 20 years with the kindy, as Assistant Teacher.

Denise has also had the privilege of teaching the children of children she has taught.

“Last year, a young couple came to the office to enrol their son. The father said he had fond memories of his time at the kindergarten and said his teachers were Mrs Lacey and Mrs Beutel. He was told I was still working next door so I came across to see him. I remembered his surname and the face was familiar although he was now an adult. This to me was the ultimate compliment for me and for our Centre!” said Denise.

Another past parent of the centre is teacher Laura whose daughter attended in 2000 before Laura came on staff in 2006.

“What I enjoy most about my work are the rewards I receive as a teacher each day. Seeing how much the children enjoy their Kindy day, how confident they become over the year, watching them achieve and grow,” said Laura. “It’s sad having to say goodbye to the children on their last day of Kindy each year because I have become so attached to them. However, I’m also very proud knowing I helped them become that confident person who is now ready to continue on with their learning journey.”

Local resident, Assistant teacher Sue Lawson, who has been with the centre over 20 years, loves working with the children and watching the explore and develop in the new experience that is kindy.

“The loyalty shown by the staff at Jamboree Community Kindy over the last 20 years is exceptional and makes for a wonderful work environment that benefits the both the parents and the children who attend.”

The staff were recognised for their achievements at the recent AGM where a plaque was presented along with flowers for each staff member.

Every 14 hours, a child is born with cerebral palsy.

Centenary Suburbs . Historical Society UPDATE BY CAROLINE HAMILTON

20 years collecting and preserving our local history In September 1996, Councillor Christine Watson, Jamboree Ward, asked members of the public to form a group interested in researching and recording local history.

From this meeting, the Centenary Suburbs Historical Society was formed. Dedicated members have researched and recorded significant events relating to our district and are working to digitize documents to preserve them for the future generations. From the earliest days, when farming was the primary activity, to today, where we live is a thriving residential and business area. There are still many stories to discover and record for the future generations.

Did you know that in 1823, John Oxley, Surveyor and explorer, charted the Seventeen-mile Rocks, and landed at and climbed Mt Ommaney which he named Green Hills? That Mermaid Reach of the Brisbane River, which forms a northern boundary of the Centenary Suburbs, is named for Oxley’s boat the Mermaid? Have you seen the two memorial plaques?

In 1959, Queensland’s Centenary year, Hooker Rex planned the Centenary Project, an ambitious long-term suburban development proposal that included a number of Mermaid Reach, neighbourhoods, or suburbs, each with sufficient services and facilities for its residents John Magee Park - plaque to have their day-to-day needs met without having to go elsewhere. Purchase of farmland unveiled July 2012 commenced in the area about 1960 and the building of the Centenary Highway and Centenary Bridge opened up the area for housing and business to become the great area that we live in today.

I have noticed recent interest in local history from local residents on Facebook ‘4074 and Community’ group who have shared their experiences and comments for some interesting events of the past - the fun of the Amazons Water Park, the Birdman Event on the lake at Westlake, water skiing/canoeing on the Brisbane River, and wildlife encounters. Are you one of those residents? Want to know more of the facts? If so, join us on the second Wednesday of each month at the Mt Ommaney Library Meeting Room to hear more about what we are discovering and your possible contribution?

Contact us via our website site (cshsoc.org.au) or send Located at entrance of Mt Ommaney Bushland Reserve, an email to centenaryhistory2@hotmail.com for more Summit Place, Mt Ommaney information about how you can become involved.

An initiative of the Australian Breastfeeding Association, Baby’s Day Out aims to celebrate babies and their place in our world and their right to be fed wherever they are.

Babies are an important part of our busy lives and don’t need to be hidden away at home or fed in toilets or in separate rooms. Community perceptions can be influenced by positive images and real life examples and spring is the perfect time for families to go out together, taking babies and children along to share the fun.

All families are welcome to come along to the Sherwood Arboretum (look for the ABA banner) on Monday, 24 October from 9.30am - 12pm.

Activities will include face painting and games and there will be coffee available for purchase. Plus, don’t forget to pick up your free ABA gift bag.

The four news magazines of Local News Publications cover 30 suburbs south of the Brisbane CBD, allowing you to target the local area best suited to you and your business.

It was my great pleasure to host the 2016 Mount Ommaney Seniors Week morning tea at the Jindalee hotel recently.

It was a wonderful way to end Queensland Seniors Week celebrations with a morning tea and special guests, Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls MP, Cr John Connolly (Former Head Coach of the Wallabies) and Seniors Constable Ben Harm (Centenary Police Beat).

Throughout the morning, local seniors enjoyed beautiful musical interludes from the Jamboree Heights State School choir and the Corinda State High School clarinet quartet.

Following the morning tea, I have had so many wonderful reports from attendees about the performances, the talented singers and musicians from our local schools.

I hold my seniors week morning tea annually as a way of celebrating the great contribution our seniors have made to our community. As a community we should never underestimate the involvement and impact our local seniors have had on building our wonderful local area.

I would also like to thank the many local seniors who came out and enjoyed the morning, and look forward to hosting my Seniors Week morning tea again next year.

If you’re looking to increase your local sales, then with a combined distribution of over 44,000, and the potential readership of at least 100,000, these news magazines will provided you with a proven medium.

The Local News This year marks the 40th anniversary of National Seniors Australia. The National Seniors Australia board celebrated the 40th anniversary with a birthday cake and branches around Australia are set to host a range of special events, open to both members and non-members.

On 1 July 1976, Australia’s first woman in Cabinet, Dame Enid Lyons, launched Later Years, the organisation now known as National Seniors Australia. Now, 40 years on, with 200,000 members, 130 branches, and 50 employees, it is the consumer lobby for older Australians and the fourth largest organisation of its type in the world.

Providing unrivalled access to policy-makers, a raft of commercial benefits, world-class research and top-notch publications, National Seniors is everything the over 50s need to navigate the second half of their lives.

While the organisation stays true to its roots by giving older Australians – working and retired - a strong national voice, it also leads a new guard of seniors: the baby boomers who are redefining what it means to grow old. Nearly eight million Australians are now aged 50 years and over. They join National Seniors for a single voice and to be part of something bigger.

Locally, Centenary National Seniors will be hosting a free concert with special guests, the Babbling Trillbillies and a light lunch to be served after the concert. Those attending are asked to arrive at the Jindalee Bowls Club on Wednesday 19th October at 9.30am for a 10am start. All seniors, members and non-members are invited to attend. Bookings are essential and can be made by phoning Marlene on 3279 1444.
